The cooking class....

Last Sunday 

we had a real treat

Instead of cooking for others

we cooked for ourselves

under the very learned

eye and hand of Johanna

who has just come back from

a week of cooking classes at

 Casa Ombuto in Tuscany

we all arrived in the commercial kitchen....

oh dear I must have been late

the tables were set up

like this and each place had a jar of aromatic salt

as a gift from Johanna

she briefed us on what we were going to be doing

.....some of us were listening!

but the pasta lessons were not for everyone

some of us thought we might have made

 a... tiny.... wee.... error!

but mostly we worked well together

even Mother and Daughter

and the pasta turned out surprisingly well

then we all sat down

 while the meal, we had helped prepare,

was plated up and served to us like this

Millefooglie di baccala e porri su crema di rucola

or

Codfish & leeks with puff pastry on rocket cream

La Sfoglia salsa con meanzone

or 

Spaghetti with  eggplant sauce

Bistecca Fiorentina

or

rare steak with salad!

Semifreddo aile noci e ciccolato bianco

or

Walnut and white chocolate semifreddo.

. . .

our cooking class was

  a taste of Tuscany

I am not a fancier of fish and I loathe eggplant
but I can honestly say, I thoroughly enjoyed every
mouthful of this delicious meal!

and it would appear

 I have broken all my promises to myself

 and have allowed some images of an aged me to appear!!!!!
